The Clippers will be relieved to get out from under Griffin’s five-year, $171 million contract, but will also be losing the face of their franchise. In return they’ll get Harris, a 25-year-old wing having the best year of his career (18.1 points, 5.1 rebounds per game) and Bradley, a guy who was instrumental to the rise of the Boston Celtics last season.

Harris is owed around $35 million over the next two seasons, while Bradley will be a free agent this summer. That means the Clippers may have to re-sign both Bradley and Lou Williams in the offseason.

It’s clear what Detroit is going for. While Harris was the team’s leading scorer, Griffin will combine with Andre Drummond to give the Pistons the league’s most formidable frontcourt. With DeMarcus Cousins out for the season, no team will be able to match Detroit up front.
